Good luck!- Mike

Edit:

Also, don't forget that the quads must be drawn in a specific order to make them face the front. The default is CounterClockWise by default. So drawn the vertex's for the quads in a CCW order to make them face forward!

Actually, they do. Well, at least that''s where I got it from. But don''t fear, ''cause I know I''ve had to re-read a few things because there''s just so much info to soak in. I''m on chapter 8 now. =) Good luck! There''s some good stuff coming up!
